BAYO 373 - BAYO 373 The German Seitengewehr 14 (S14) bayonet was developed for the Mauser Gewehr 98 rifle and was produced in 1914. These bayonets were only produced at the beginning of WW1. The S (Seitengewehr, meaning sidearm) 1914 (the pattern) bayonet was an interim design and was in effect an early type of ersatz bayonet, being produced by numerous private, non-military makers in order to make up the German army's shortfall. This is a first pattern S14 bayonet is stamped on the ricasso with a stylised G in a circle & SD (the trademark logo for Lucian Gottscho), a Berlin based patent holder and designer who sub-contracted the production of these bayonets during early, chaotic World War I. The SD stamp is one of nine unidentified factory letter codes used by sub-contractors or assembly shops. The Gottscho SD variation is having been manufactured specifically for the Kingdom of Württemberg military forces. The ricasso is stamped 593 n one side (bayonet number) and on the other side I.E.M.G.K.XIII.AR (I Ersatz-Maschinengewehr-Kompanie, XIII. Armeekorps (1st Machine Gun Company, 13th (Royal Württemberg) Army Corps)). The spine of the blade is stamped with a crown over the date acceptance stamp near to the hilt. The 302mm single-edged blade is bright and has a full fuller on both spine terminating in a spear point. The smooth wooden grips are held on by cross screws and are in good condition with age and use. The steel crosspiece has only a vestigial muzzle ring and the grip is without a flash guard. The steel pommel has a press stud mechanism which is in good working order. The bayonet is complete with its blackened steel scabbard with a small flat tip and a frog stud and has some wear with service use. See pages 113 – 115, item 275 of White & Watts, The Bayonet Book. The price for this WW1 bayonet & scabbard includes UK delivery. (German Box 3). BAYO 373 £295.00 |
